Turns out that it does work: But now I wonder if there is any way to have the actual values for PortName appear in the label column. If I uncheck PortName as a data source, but check it as the label source on the Edit screen, the actual values are not displayed in the Label column. Those row numbers are absolutely…

Just run the installation executable and then choose the "Repair" option. You will have to run through the configuration wizard again after the install as well.

Hmmmm?

Yes, I believe qle is correct. Thanks for the clarification. Otherwise, the alert would not trigger unless the CPU Load was >95% on all three servers at the same time.

Alterego, I realize this an old thread, but if one wanted to globally change all Agent monitored nodes to use ping for status, could that be done using a SQL query? If so, what would that query look like? Thank you.

Good job Sean Martinez. Of course, your historical chart shoes battery capacity rather than battery status, which is why I recommended that the historical chart for status is inappropriate. In any event, we are on the same track.

The upgrade from 8.5.1 went smoothly. I have only begun to put v9 through the paces, but so far, no issues. The product looks great and I think the consolidation of features is very nice and intuitive. Good job.

OK, just to summarize then. Previous NTA versions allowed for NF data to be compressed and then kept for a certain period of time before being deleted, but that was all there was to "maintenance" of NetFlow data. Correct? The Orion Nightly Maintenance procedures and DB compaction procedure did not effect NF data? In…

Found the answer. Certain view limitation options such as Group Name Pattern do not need a reference to a table or field in the database. In other words, one need not add "GroupName" or "Name", etc in the box. All that is needed is for you to place the filter text surrounded by the SQL wild card character, which is an…

Ok, so we're on the same wavelength it looks like. To extend this a little more, would you then generally agree that: (1) If your network is relatively small and simple, you might get away with using the Suppression tab in cases where truly universal alert suppression is needed. (2) On networks where devices are more…

I am still getting the same message after uninstalling NCM and even deleting the Configuration Management folder. Afdter rebooting the server, I ran the NPM Integration file first, then re-installed NCM. As soon as the Configuration Wizard starts, I get the error. Need to get this resolved ASAP. Can anyone help, or do I…

While were at it, this might be a good thread to ask about implied dependencies. I have always understood that certain dependencies were automatic in that they did not have to be defined by the user. Examples would be interfaces on a node or applications on a server. In each case, Orion would automatically place those…

Try designating the interface as "unpluggable" in Node Management. That should keep it from being included in down interface alerts.

Would this approach also work for removing NetFlow by deleting the appropriate references to "TrafficAnalysis" folders/files?

Thanks, Mark. So, I assume that some of the numbers are orphaned registry keys from older versions of SW software ?

Thanks Alex. The last little thing I am working on is to include the identity of the user who added the node in an alert email. I think this will have to be a custom SQL action, but I just have to work that out.

Ok, brain freeze here! I was looking for it in Web Console Settings and forgot about the option in the Account edit screen. Thanks.

Well, then I don't think there is any way to prevent a sublevel map from displaying altogether that I know of. You can try creating a node group account limitation consisting of all noes on a map and see what happens when the user drills down from the map level above, but I have not ever tried it. I'll test it out on my…

Yep, that is why some more tenured users aren't too happy to see the System Manager exiting stage right. :)

So, the report in the Content Exchange is outdated, correct? If so, is the updated version available for download?

Agreed, this is a thorny one. I actually have already gotten the "snapshot" option worked out using an Orion report exported to Excel. Excel works its magic and I get a column that flags any MAC address that has moved. Problem is, my end user wants the "automagic" option. I'll keep looking at it.

Thanks Derek. I modified the text file that you attached and changed the OID to match the system OID I found when I walked the MIB. What do I need to do in order to get it in the format for NCM to use, and how do I configure NCM to use the new template when I try to add my Cisco 1900s?

Glad to help. See you in training?

grantsewell is correct. The error I made earlier was to include the ${VolumeSpaceAvailable}. The use of the parentheses around the value from the database field which is then divided by 1024 two or three times is the key. Sorry if I temporarily confused you.

Just sent you am e-mail through the forum. Not sure if it went through or not.

To remove a poller from all nodes: - Log in to Orion web site as administrator - Go to Admin option, select Manage Nodes - Select all Nodes, then select Assign Pollers - Uncheck the box next to the poller(s) you want to remove then click Submit. You are done.

Good. You will hear from us soon.

One other thing you might consider. If you don't already have the SW Engineers Toolset, you should try it out. There are some SNMP MIB tools that would be invaluable in helping you gather custom OID data from devices on your network that Orion may not monitor out of the box.

Roger, Do you know of any examples (step by step) of using the Mass Edit for Monitor properties? Better yet, are there plans to publish any tutorials on the Solarwinds website for this and other management tasks related to ipMonitor?

Yes, the use of "any" along with the CPU Load greater than 40% is pulling in any node thaat goes above that level. Change the "any" to "all" and it should work.
